Getting started late in the game, just a general question. Where would you start if you had no knowledge of webdesign and wanting to get into that field? Can i get a list of things to do first in order? Like building blocks, take this first then this, then this etc... Also, what would be the fastest route to take to learn these things you may list?
Thanks..

Thank You..I am currently taking some classes for website design at the local college but for some reason the instructor thought it would be funny i guess to throw me in a javascript class before any html class has been taken, so i am strugglin a little.
Thanks for your info though, i will get that book this weekend.

Learn HTML and CSS. From scratch this can be quite a daunting task, and you will regularly think that you really have no idea what is going on, but stick with it. Things will drop into place - certainly with HTML. Css is a slightly different matter as it can be a bit quirky with cross browser differences and some things that may appear counterintuitive so don't worry about not understanding something, it will come in time.
Learn to write HTML code and keep the HTML a structure and use CSS as design.
There are plenty of excellent tutorials on the internet, I have always tried to verify stuff I read from a number of sources as there are also plenty of folk out there with no proper idea.
Another thing that I have fouind invaluable is buying books for reference and to read about webdesign, HTML, CSS and others - subscribe to a magazine, helped me.
Don't be afraid to ask questions and use search engines.
Learn about Web Standards

and also about accessibility, very important.
One book I will recommend you read, in fact get a copy of is Steve Krugs 'Don't make me think' it is one of the most sensible, informationially useful (not sure if that is a word) books I have read.
Hope that helps. Good luck it is fantastic fun. I love it.
